Chach - what kind of fryer is that? How much will it hold? That looks pretty big. |

It holds about one of those really big jars of oil. I'm at work at the moment so I can't look at the bottle to give you the size. It's a great fryer because it holds about 4 large pieces of chicken at one time. These are the pieces with the drumstick and thigh connected. I can't think of what they are called. LOL I fry those for 16-18 minutes. The smaller pieces like wings and drumsticks go for around 10-12 minutes. It's pretty quick. It's great for frying catfish also because the big fillets fit in their nicely. The whole thing comes apart and all goes in the dishwasher except the heating element. You can see the basket in the top rack and the lid in the lower rack. When I bought this one they were just coming out. There are many choices available these days. I think this one is about 1500 Watts and recovers quickly between batches. |

I'm glad you added "thread" to the end of your title. Otherwise I'm sure you'd be hearing from a lot of interested parties, myself included, about something entirely different. I suspect that once the Bobster sees your pix you'll get his blessing. I love being able to cram as much as I can into my dishwasher, and the satisfaction of seeing all of it come out sparkling clean. Nice job! |

I just love the threads. Oh yeah, Ralph you most assuredly receive the BobLoad certification. OK you guys, I need some good modern dishwasher load pics. A friend of mine is having to replace her KDI21 or KDI22 and I want to give her some examples of modern machine loads--she's as skilfull at loading her dishwasher as I am, but she rinses everything off :-( |

Just about ready to start my Bosch. Perhaps I can win an honorable mention. Of course very carefully loaded. |

I agree. Nice loads!! I would have bought the Miele or possibly Asko but I was afraid of service here in Arkeensaw. I went with the Boschmore because of my own experience with Bosch and I figured I could get serivce through Sears if I needed it. I love the look of your machine and really like the flexibility. How do you like it? My best friend has an Asko and he really loves it. |

I'm wondering, do BobLoads only apply for dishwashers? or can they also apply to washers & dryers? |

and I am surprised to hear some of you think the Bosch holds that much less than other dishwashers. I have been a Kitchen Aid guy for many years but once they sold I think all of the good things about KA dishwashers went with the sale. I am in my third house with a Bosch and really love them. I really don't think the smaller size affects how much I can get in one of those loads. I have tons of pictures to share if anyone is interested. I really am sold on Bosch. The quality of the dishwasher was the reason I picked Bosch when it was time for a new Washer and Dryer. That was 5 years ago and I couldn't be happier with them. |

Happy Thanksgiving to all Americans! I'm sure there will be A LOT of dishes and cookwear to wash after dinner and that could make for a lot of BobLoads. Please be sure to post them. |

My four year old Bosch is about 1 inch less deep than the Elux Frigidaire POS it replaced. I understand this is because standard European kitchen counters are a bit less deep than standard American counters. The bottom rack is more square than rectangular, as a result. But it doesn't seem to limit the capacity in any significant way. Plus, it cleans so much better than the Frigidaire. And, since the top rack can be removed completely and replaced with a spray head, the Bosch can fit very tall items that simply wouldn't fit in the Frigidaire. Also, I think the incorporation of the water heater into the sump area leads to a bit more vertical room in the Bosch, and its hidden location means that plastic items can be placed on the bottom rack without fear of getting melted by an exposed heating element. I would buy another Bosch DW. |

It is about three years old. It cleans well but is probably one of the worst constructed machines on the market. If you look on the left, just under the top rack, you'll see a little white goop. I had to caulk the door seal in place as it would either pull out when the door was opened or slip just enough to leak. This is the last Sears appliance I will ever own. Wish I had bought the Bosch instead! MRB |

Well since whirlmores are starting to show up at the end of this thread i like to share thanksgiving pics with the group.Now some peaple dont like the new design i like them, that wash arm design has been around since i beleve i saw in the early 80's and has gone threw different pump designs Malcome i agree with the arm hole design, but it really cleans well i got my friends a GU2600XTP model and it's very quit a little motor hum compared to bosch & miele and other european machines.I used the pots & pans cycle with a high temp score&sani rinse last night a really dirty load i hope bob approves i need his stamp hi bob! like to meet you someday. The machine has a sheer clean wash system & sensor wash system it really works when the fisrt pre rinse started the machine addded more water twice and drain some of the water out as it was still washing pretty cool, i hope everybody had a nice holiday here are some pics Darren k

Darren, oh yes sir you get a BobLoad most definitely!! I would ghave loved to see what that skillet/fry pan that's in the front looked like inside. I'm surprised it got clean being right behind that cassarole dish. I have the Kenmore Elite version of this machine. The little bit of water draining off and adding more water during the prewash is what it's supposed to do. It's part of the Automatic Filter Purge feature (AFP). As soil collects and the sensors sense the restriction on water flow and pressure on pump, the drain motor turns on and removes soiled water in the collection chamber for 5 seconds and water is added for 10 seconds. It will do this up to 4 times during the prewash. If there is food soil still being cleaned off during the main wash, the machine will purge like that up to 3 more times (yes folks, mine has been so nasty and dirty of a load a couple of times it has done that since I've had the machine since last May). It does surprise me how well it does clean. Again, you get bobLoad status. I look forward to meeting you too sometime. Glad you got to spend the holiday with John & Cal, they're great guys!!

Thanks bob that pan got clean it had gravey in it every dish and pot had enough room for water circulation, thinks for the info on the APF system i talk about them at work all the time. I forgot about the seconds when the water comes in and how long it purges, the system works very well some of the members don't like them maybe because of cycle time. i'm waiting for the Whirlpool corp to come out with a new mind blowing wash system they still can improve that very top spray system somtimes with hollow glasses some sedament still remains maybe a larger sprayarm how knows? Well i got the bob stamp and that is cool lol .There is a miele pro diswasher in super,(thread 14407) and the some store pics where i work it's really powerful machine see what u think about it. talk to you soon Darren k

I want to see a loaded 3 rack Maytag. In that machine, the dishes are ALMOST on the top! In the defense of some modern machines, I still think Maytag and GE machines could be considered [hurricanes in boxes] if not, at least severe thunderstorms. Whirlpool's current machines sound like they perform as potently as a spring shower. Frigidaire's are even worse! Barely a light drizzle. I have a Frigidaire machine in my apartment with the 5 level Precision wash system. It's OK...it does wash all the dishes. Try to get it to scrub pots and pans? no way. At least they make up for their weak pump by alternating the spray action from top to bottom. I think Whirlpool severely needs to do that if they're not going to fill their tubs high enough to allow full press. I think Maytags have the highest press wash pumps out there today. Look at their 1/3HP pancake motors and their pump impellers are the same as what were used in old KitchenAids (the ones that look like pool pump impellers). Hell, Maytag must be putting alot of water through if it can handle 4 wash arms. |

I agree with what Steve is saying. Their is nothing wrong with newer technology except when it goes several steps backwards. Their is nothing that will ever be made like the older KitchenAid machines. Machines that run 2 plus hours is a big step backwards. I like my GE talltub probably better than most out their but I miss my power clean whirlpool that I should have never given up. And the sad part their is really not a lack of water in this society and a machine that runs such a long time is wasting more energy. Why can't we design these machines?? Peter |
